As the time approaches for the opening
of the public schools, the deadlock in the
school board over the appointment Of q
principal is getting to be serious matter.
As the case stands three members Of the
board are determined to retain Mr.. Beckley
at salary Of thousand dollars year,
because they think his services are worth
1t, and the other three are determined to
pay him no more than eight hundred dol
lars, because they claim that other equally
as competent teachers are willing to Oerve
for that salary. Whichever side is right,
the fact remains that the public schools
have no principal and the chiet reason flor
it is that the school board consists of six
members. II it were an odd number, the
deadlock could not have occurred. A
change in the law should be made at the
next session of the legislature, fixing tie
number at five or Seven.
In the School Laws and Decisions of
1885, page 36, appears the following:
"Neglect to provide sufficient number of
schools, it is believed, is punishable by re-
moval from Office Of the board SO neglect
ing its duty, and the appointment of others
IN their stead" Whether the failure to az
point principal would come under this
rule or not, would be question for the
court to decide, should the matter get SO
far as that. Whether the court has any
Jurisdiction IN such case is also uncer.
tain. But at all events let something be
done so that the schools may open at the
usual time and the taxpayers have what
they pay for and what they have right
to demand, competent and efficient teach
ers for their children.

The Bloomsbury baseball nine played
the Sugar Notch nine at Athletic Park last
Saturday afternoon, and the game was
called at the end of the ninth inning with
the score standing 0 to o. Another inning
might have been played, but the Sugar
Notch nine had not time to play 1t, as they
had 10 make the train on the N & WB. road
which goes up at 8.26 p. m. A very fair
game was played, the Sugar Notch club
being very good players, and having a
good battery, with an exceptionally swift
pitcher. Shaffer labored under great dis
advantage, having injured his hands a few
days before. He had several passed balls,
a thing hitherto almost unknown to him.
Heist pitched good game. The boys we're
a little tardy in getting on to the Sugar Notch
pitcher but when they did they pounded
HIM pretty hard A splendid running catch
was made by the Sugar Notch left fielder
of a long foul fly knocked by Ent. In the
seventh inning Shaffer injured his hand
again ana Hagenburh caught the remain
der Of the game, Shaffer taking his posi-
tion at third base. Several good double
plays were made, and some good batting
was done by both mines. Schuyles M'Killip
umpired the game. A large number of
spectators were present.

Time Needed for a Navy.

The adage that "a navy cannot be built
in day" is clearly illustrated by the his
tory of the construction Of these vessels.
Although four years have elapsed since
work upon them was begun, only two are
at the present writing ready for service ut
sea. Nor is it strange that this should be
true. The experience of foreign govern
ments shows that delays in the building of
modern ships are inevitable. The science
Of ship-cohstruction is progressive one,
and changes in the plans of vessels even
after the work Of building has commenced
are often unavoidable. But with the ex-
perience our manufacturers have already
gained in the production of steel for ships,
and with the aid of the Office of Naval In
telligence, bureau Of the Navy Depart
ment, whose duty is to keep informed upon
the latest developments in all branches of
naval science throughout the world, it may
be reasonably expected that in the future
such delays and changes will be reduced
to minimum.-From sour New Navy"
in The American Magazine for September.

Last week was one of the gayest that
social life In Bloomsbury has known for a
long time. There were parties and social
gatherings every evening in the week. On
Monday evening party was given at the
Sanitarium, which was attended by "a num-
Der Of the young folks from town, and a
very pleasant evening was spent. Wednes-
day evening there were three parties; two
card parties were gwen, one at Mr.. U. s.
Lutz's home on Third street. and the other
by Miss Lillian Drinker, at her home at
Irondale; an entertainment was given at
the Sanitarum the same evening. A small
number OF young folks spent pleasant
evening at Miss Annie Ent's on Thursday.
On Friday evening large party was given
by Misses Ella and Anna Fox, and Satur-
day evening another party was given at
Mr.. Lutz's. In fact, the whole week was
one continual round of pleasure.

A new method of swindling is being in
troduced, which is said to be working very
successfully. The victim is usually coun-
tryman, who receives circular letter ln-
forming him that u distant relative in Phil
adelphia has just died, and that the de-
ceased had left him $4,000. He is eau
toned to say very little upon the subject,
and is to 60 to the city as soon as possible,
with about $3.50 to pay the legal expenses.
II he does not smell the rat he follows the
instructions and meets the "agent" at a
hotel He is conducted to an office, and
80, 900 in crisp new bills are counted out
to him and done up in package. He
pays the "legal expenses" and he is then
given package, the exact counterpart of
that containing the bills, which he is ad-
yised to send home by express. When he
arrives at home and secures the package
he hurries to his room and tears off the
paper, only to find brick, some waste pa
per aud sawdust. Several complaints have
been made to the police authorities by per-
sons who have been swindled by their
method, but tfus far no arrests have been
made.

The county commissioners are making
numerous needed repairs at the court
house. The offices of the Prothonotary,
Sheriff and Register and Recorder have
new wood ceilings, durable and neat,
which were put up by W. b. Taylor and
Robert Roam. The jury room up stairs
has been painted by ID. r. Coffman. The
work to be done on the court room will be
the most extensive and expensive. The
Judges seat will be lowered and the entire
room handsomely finished in wood, and a
new desk built for the court officers in
front of the bench. The ceiling will be
taken off, aud new and heavier joistG laid.
The ceiling and walls will be replastered.
and decorated with paint. Eli Jones was
the lowest bidder for the woodwork, his
figure being $l079. w. F. Bodine's bid
for the painting was 800, and j. NJ. How
er's for the plastering $l15. If these bid
ders comply with the conditions imposed
by the commissioners the contracts will be
awarded them. AS the work cannot be
compile ted by September court 1t is likely
that court will be held in the Opera House.

Among the laws of 1887 is one to prevent
and punish the making and dissemination
of obscene literature and other immoral
and indecent matter, which we print in full
elsewhere. The attention of those who
are in the habit OF defacing walls by, writ
ing obscene lines and pictures thereon, is
called to the third section of the act,
where they will find that a penalty Of a
fine not exceeding five hundred dollars,
and Imprisonment not exceeding one year
is imposed on those who indulge in that
sort of amusement. Fences, walls, floor,
ceiling, closet, room, passage, hall, or any
part of any hotel, court house, school,
depot, or other public places or buildings
are included in the law, and any one who
makes or causes TO be made therein or
thereon, any obscene drawing or picture,
or print, liable to be seen by others passing
or coming near the same are liable to suffer
the penalty of the law. 1t is not likely
that this law will be strictly observed until
an example has been made of one or two
offenders.

can be found anywhere for the
same class of goods. We are

removing pegs, and for resetting
buttons, so that our goods are
made comfortable, and made to
